How do boarders who made all three grounds rate them in order of preference?

I'd say

1. Preston
2.Blackpool
3. Blackburn

Didn`t make Preston but been before , great stadium , can`t comment on hospitality on the day , accessibility poor I heard

Blackburn - stadium- not impressed (comfort) - hospitality - great made us very welcome, good bar made available - accessibility - great (car free park adjacent)

Blackpool - stadium - good - hospitality poor ( no facilities open 2 hours before KO) accessibility poor/ok (depending how you travelled)
So swings and roundabouts but we have to thank them all for getting our games on. :)

I thought the facilities yesterday in the ground were terrible considering we were in the main stand. Couldnt even get onto the concourse at half time. Far too small considering the area they could have had there.

Blackburn by a country mile, best stadium, best area for pubs and eating spots, one of the best away grounds to go.

Preston's still pretty good but not much around the ground really

Blackpool absolutely crap. Even though it's pretty new it's starting to look tired, the concourse was crap, stewards were Pollocks and the area around the ground is a dump.

Preston first by a mile. Blackburn second but not a fan of the ground and no leg room and poor view in lower tier but usually excellent in upper tier. Blackpool, not a bad view but poor thought out concourse.
Staff great at all three. Very welcoming.

Blackburn was the only one I hadn't been to before. I'd go for
1.PNE
2. Blackburn
3. Blackpool

Sad when you think they started on their rebuild around the same time we started on the East Stand.

I thoroughly enjoyed Preston. Found a decent pub about 5 minutes from the ground and the general experience was great. Helpful police, stewards and good viewing. Drinks served quickly at half time by smiling staff.

I might go there more often.....

Didn't make Preston but have been before, am guessing the home end must be a bit better than the away end especially in the concourse areas. Although can't fault the view.
Blackburn for me is a stadium which has stood the test of time, it has a good balance of a traditional yet modern stadium yet it is over 20 years old now.

Blackpool for me was disappointing considering we were in their main stand. The concourse area was too small and dull considering a home area where you would want your fans to come regular and spend more time Prematch in the ground, a lack of food but suppose since we were all going to be boycotting its no surprise they didn't bother putting any on for us.

None of them were as good as what could've been - Derwent Park!
